Sensors ability to accurately determine the coordinates of a target is often limited to one or two spatial coordinates, in example range at expense angle, as the accuracy is further degraded by noise of the signal. The problem can be mitigated by fusing the data of more than one sensor. The variance the fused coordinates can be evaluated theoretically or computationally through modeling. The paper focuses of the second approach.
